Kristian Sjolund, the 6-foot-9 forward from Katy Thompkins (TX) High School, committed to Georgia Tech on Sunday per Scout.
Sjolund, who visited Georgia Tech on August 11th for an official, is Georgia Tech’s first commit in the 2018 class. According to 247Sports, Sjolund is ranked as the No. 232 overall player in the Class of 2018 and the No. 20 player from the state of Texas.
“He liked what he saw on his visit and felt like he didn’t want to go through it anymore,” Sjolund’s AAU coach, Stephon Leary of the Shooting Stars told AJC News. “[He] didn’t want to prolong the process, felt good enough about Georgia Tech to just get it over with.”
Sjolund chose Georgia Tech over schools such as Ole Miss, Baylor, Washington State, Colorado, and Illinois, among others. “They made him a priority and went after him and I think he felt good about that throughout the whole summer,” Leary said.
